SilverBlade86 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Thats is whats happening to my Betta after I transfered him from his old tank to the new one. Whats happening to him? He was transfered about a month ago, and has been this way for quite a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 That is usually signs of stress, or disease. Are the new tank conditions totally different to the old? Is he in with other fish? Something is not to his liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBlade86 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think its because he has no where to hide near the surface of the water. This tank is totally bare except for a piece of driftwood. He used to like hiding and resting in the Red Rotala you sent me a few months back. I'll put some in immediately and hopefully he'll be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Bettas don't swim well with those flowing fins. A place to rest would help I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBlade86 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think I found the problem. The other betta in the tank was not a she at all. Saw "her" blowing bubble nests. However, I never really saw them fighting at all. I've took out the male with the clumped fins and put him into a quarantine tank. I noticed he has spots on his face. Is that normal for bettas? I should say that the spots are black, not white. Was watching it closely again, and saw that the gills look ... different. I can see it breathing, theres something red coming out of the gills? Its fins and tail are all clumped up still. Should I bring it to my nearest petstore and ask for help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
